A study by Children's Medical Research Institute (CMRI) researchers reveals a new group of proteins that guide the powerful ...

Nine of the ten GAPs for Ras subfamily GTPases contain a C2 domain immediately N-terminal to their GAP domain. Studying the archetypal GAP protein, RasGAP, we find that this C2 domain’s role is to ...

BACKGROUND: Drp1 (dynamin-related protein 1), a large GTPase, mediates the increased mitochondrial fission, which contributes to hyperproliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells in pulmonary ...

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) or von Recklinghausen disease is the most common autosomal dominant inherited disorder in humans, affecting approximately 1 in 3,000 individuals. 1 The pathogenesis of ...

Abstract Tightly regulated spatio-temporal Rho GTPase activity patterns regulate morphogenetic processes such as cell migration. Emerging evidence suggests that binding of Guanine nucleotide exchange ...

Protein purity was assessed using standard SDS-PAGE blotting. The protein concentration was quantified and normalized among samples in an elution buffer prior to use in the assays. The GTPase activity ...
